Han Ni wasn't worried about being scammed at all. Holding a laptop in one hand and a DSLR camera in the other, he followed the other person into the villa and found that the first-floor hall was indeed a studio.

"Such a big studio, and you're all alone?" He put down what he was holding and asked curiously when he saw that the villa was empty.

"The studio has just been established, so there is not much business yet."

"I can manage all the work by myself, so I haven't hired any employees," Yang Hongdou explained, looking a little embarrassed. "Everything is difficult at the beginning, but things will get better later."

"Han Ni, if you're willing, you'll be the first artist signed to Red Bean Studio. How about that? Feeling honored?"

"Honor? How could that be?" Han Ni was speechless, not expecting the other party to make such a promise. He asked, "Is it too late for me to run away now?"

"That won't do." Yang Hongdou quickly took a few steps back and spread her arms to block the villa's door.

His expression was resolute, his tone firm: "You can name any conditions you want, and we can discuss the contract details. The point is, you can't run away."

"Why do you want to sign me? We've just met and know nothing about each other." Han Ni asked, "Aren't you worried that I'm a good-for-nothing who will leave you with nothing after all your hard work?"

"Besides you, I don't have any better options for the time being," Yang Hongdou replied. "Besides, I feel like I can make a lot of money with just your face."

"Impressive, you have good taste." Han Ni nodded and smiled, "Alright, go find Dilraba."

"Why are you in such a hurry for me to leave?" Yang Hongdou asked suspiciously. "You're not planning to run away while I'm gone, are you?"

"I was just looking for a place that includes food and lodging, and this place is great, I really like it."

"As long as you don't kick me out, I can live here for the rest of my life." Han Ni shook his head, took out his phone, and asked the other person to add him as a WeChat friend and give him his phone number: "I promised Reba that I would wait for her, and I can't go back on my word."

She'll probably be disappointed if she doesn't see me after filming.

After you meet her, give her my WeChat ID and phone number so I can contact her if needed.

"Okay, I understand." Yang Hongdou nodded.

After Yang Hongdou drove away, Han Ni began to seriously check the situation inside the villa.

He walked up the stairs, looking around as he went, until he reached the rooftop. Standing on the terrace, he couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions, including sighs and reflections.

In his previous life, after graduating from university, he entered society and worked hard like a beast of burden for nearly ten years.

Forget about luxury homes and villas, they didn't even manage to get a regular small apartment.

He only owns a car worth less than 100,000 yuan, which he bought with a loan.

As for the savings in my bank account, I don't recall ever exceeding 10,000 yuan.

Although there were women around him, they were all just casual flings.

Sleeping is fine, eating, drinking and having fun are fine, but everything else is out of the question.

Others stand firm at thirty, but Han Ni falls at thirty.

He died of sudden cardiac arrest due to overwork, frequent late nights, irregular lifestyle, and unhealthy diet.

After being reborn, Han Ni felt that he was really stupid in his previous life, so stupid that he couldn't forgive himself.

So, he decided to change his way of life. He wanted to eat good food and do fun things.

Relax a little, be a little more at ease, be a little more carefree, be a little happier.

That's why he so readily refused to provide proof. He didn't want to be someone else's slave anymore.

As for Yang Hongdou, Han Ni didn't actually intend to sign a contract with her. He just wanted to borrow her studio to see if he could do something he wanted to do.

After smoking a cigarette and thinking for a while, Han Ni saw Yang Hongdou driving back.

However, to his surprise, it wasn't just her who returned; Dilraba also came along with her, carrying a suitcase.

"Weren't you staying at a hotel? What are you doing here?" Han Ni asked curiously as he walked downstairs and was greeted by two people.

"The hotel I'm staying at was booked by the film crew. Now that my scenes are finished, I naturally have to give up my room," Dilraba explained. "I've already discussed it with Sister Mi, and she agreed to let me stay in Hengdian for the time being to look for opportunities."

My income isn't high, and staying in a hotel would be too wasteful, so I'm planning to rent a place temporarily.

After DouDou learned of my thoughts, she said that she had a spare room at home.

After I found out you lived here too, I came back with her.

"Big Mimi actually agreed to let you stay here alone? Is she out of her mind?" Han Ni was surprised and looked at Yang Hongdou: "Dilraba is an artist under Jaywalk Studio, didn't you know?"

"You just brought her back like that? Aren't you afraid the people at Jiaxing will misunderstand and cause you trouble?"

"Don't you like Dilraba? I thought you had ulterior motives towards her because you cared so much about her before."

So, I brought her back directly.” Yang Hongdou was surprised and said with a smile, “Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding?”

I have no intention of signing Dilraba Dilmurat, nor have I ever thought of poaching talent from Jaywalk Studio. What reason would Jaywalk have to cause me trouble?

"At worst, I'll rent the upstairs room to Reba and sign a lease with her. I'm not worried, so why are you?"

"Don't overthink it. I only met Reba today, we're just ordinary friends." Han Ni explained, afraid that Reba would be embarrassed and that Yang Hongdou would misunderstand, "Reba, if you regret it, it's not too late to leave now."

"Han Ni, I don't regret it, and I don't want to leave." Dilraba shook her head, looking at Han Ni with a pitiful expression: "Please let me stay here, please let me stay in Hengdian, okay?"

Han Ni was surprised and stunned that Reba would speak to him with such a tone and expression.

"Han Ni, please promise me, please don't send me away, okay?" Dilraba continued to plead when she saw Han Ni remain silent.

"This villa isn't mine; Sister Dou Dou is the owner. As long as she has no objections, and as long as you're willing, there's naturally no problem."

Han Ni sensed that Reba's mood was a bit off and wanted to ask her what was wrong.

However, it was inappropriate to speak in front of Yang Hongdou, so he had to hold back.

"I have no objection," Yang Hongdou said loudly.

"Thank you, Sister Dou Dou." Dilraba nodded, looking very grateful. "Han Ni, thank you too."

"Sister Dou Dou, which room are you planning to let Reba stay in?" Han Ni asked Yang Hongdou after taking the suitcase from Reba's hand.

"I'll stay on the third floor myself, any room on the second floor is fine with me," Yang Hongdou replied. "You and Reba can choose for yourselves, no need to ask me."

"Reba, come on, I'll take you to the second floor." Han Ni nodded and dragged his suitcase upstairs.

Dilraba nodded and followed.

In addition to the walk-in closet and bathroom, there are three bedrooms on the second floor. After Han Ni and Dilraba chose their rooms, they pushed their suitcases inside.

"You've been filming all day, take a rest first." After saying that, he prepared to leave.

"Han Ni, wait a moment," Dilraba suddenly whispered.

"Is there something you need?" Han Ni asked curiously.

"Han Ni, Sister Mi asked me to ask you if you'd be willing to sign with Jaywalk Studio," Dilraba said.
